Chapter 1399
Natalie gasped as if she had just heard the juiciest gossip. “Wait, his sister?!”
Harper shook her head. “She’s not his biological sister!”
Curious, Natalie pressed on. “How did you find out?”
Harper replied, “His sister was staying at my friend’s hospital, and I happened to pass by. I accidentally
saw them being intimate, and caught them red-handed.”
Natalie exclaimed, “That’s so bizarre! How could they do that

After scolding them, Natalie grabbed Harper’s hand and asked, “What happened next?”
Most people would have stopped there, but Natalie clearly wanted to dig up all of her secrets, not
caring about Harper’s feelings at all.
Harper glanced at Jayden, hoping he would speak up and stop Natalie from prying further, but Jayden
was focused on picking out fish bones. Harper had no choice but to explain everything about the
lawsuit with Daniel.
After Natalie had thoroughly questioned Harper about her past, she smiled and said, “Miss Duke, that’s
just how I am. I always care too much about Jayden’s affairs, especially
because he’s a nerd who only knows how to study. He’s clueless about social skills or chasing girls. As
a mother, I worry more. But all parents are like this, you should
understand, right?”
Harper didn’t have parents, so she couldn’t really understand. Feeling uneasy, she forced a smile and
made up an excuse to leave.” I need to use the restroom. Enjoy your meal.”
As soon as Harper left, Natalie’s elegant smile crumbled. “Jayden, although what she said was

shimmered under the light.
Anthony, sitting next to him, noticed his interest and quickly took out his phone, placing it above the
booth with the speaker facing towards the next table.
Hearing Natalie’s words, he remembered that Harper had slept with Preston, and it made him slightly
uncomfortable.
But it wasn’t enough to hold a grudge. “If she’s not clean, she wouldn’t have withstood your
questioning. Why do you still
doubt her?”
